WSUcoug's Black Hole Log

Controlled Labs™ Presents: Black Hole™

Product Info

Eat; It’s what all the guys in the gym tell you to do. If you want to get big there is no shortcut, no easy way out. You need to eat and you need to eat a lot. Most people find it hard to consume more than a few thousand calories per day. There is a good reason for that; your body uses hormones to tell your brain “stop eating, you already have enough calories for now”. You try to stuff yourself even more but you end up feeling sick; again it’s the hormones trying to physically make you stop at this point. These hormones are acting in most people’s best interest: people who are obese and do not exercise. However if you are eating clean and you are using all of these calories then it’s not helping you in any way, shape or form. What if there is a way to effectively stop these hormones from keeping you from eating, from your goals and dreams of packing on quality lean muscle mass? Now there is. Black Hole™ from Controlled Labs uses naturally occurring alkylamides to fool the brain into believing that you haven’t eaten enough calories and you need more food. Sound good? Then read on….

Training:

Thanks ddawg and PU!

Day 1:

I actually started Black Hole on Thursday but have been unable to update until this weekend.

Took recommended dose of 1 pill prior to breakfast to assess tolerance. Didn't notice much. I did however eat my breakfast in record time I was running pretty late, but the oats went down surprisingly well.

Day 4:

Took full dose 30 minutes before breakfast.

The biggest difference I've noticed so far is that I'm much hungrier between meals. I also felt a little warm today. Not sure if it's due to the weather (VERY hot here) or to Black Hole. I'm assuming these effects are due to the increase in metabolism.

I haven't really been able to eat more during each meal but I seem to be able to eat my meals closer together. I'll try to squeeze an extra 'snack' of some sort in there for a little extra calories

OFF DAY

Where you from? It has been hot here all weekend up around 110! Great updates, as far as snacks maybe some trail mix, nuts, nat PB, cottage cheese.

Some of these matched my maxes set before starting HST. So expect some PR's this wednesday

Nice Log man! I noticed that you take your black hole 30 mins prior to breakfast, do you usually have trouble finishing your breakfast? I personnaly never find it hard to Break my Fast with a ton of food in the mornings. I have found that the my best use for black hole is after my second meal of the day when im wondering why teh hell im eating 6 large meals a day. taken about an hour after my second meal I can eat my large 3rd and 4th pre-workout meal easily without feeling full during my workouts. Just thought i would share..

I drive a lot during the day so it's best for me to take it in the morning. Although I should note that I feel perfectly fine to drive after taking Black Hole.

I don't really have a problem with breakfast. But it has been easier stuffing down a cup of oats

I'm in Mill Creek. I think it got to about 100 the other day. Way too hot for me!

I usually bring some almonds with me to work. I'd love to bring cottage cheese but it'll probably spoil while I'm at work I may look into some granola bars though. I've seen them at Costco for pretty cheap lately.

Day 6:

Took full dose 30 minutes prior to breakfast.

I have been getting a 'nice' feeling about 20-30 minutes after taking Black Hole. Not really sure the best way to describe it. I just feel nice and relaxed. This is probably the reason CL mentions to not drive after taking Black Hole. I haven't had a problem though.

VERY hungry today between meals. It always hits about 1.5 hours after my meals. So....I picked up some of those granola bars from Costco PU was raving about a while back I'll take a couple of these to work with me and snack on them when I get hungry.

I took my first dose of Black Hole today and i got the same "nice" feeling as well about 20 minutes after my dose.

OFF DAY! In the gym tomorrow to set a few PR's.

I seemed to notice that also yesterday when I took my first full dose. I took it 30-45 minutes before breakfast and my appetite didn't seem to increase at all, however, it seemed like an hour or so later I was very hungry, which doesn't normally happen -- good luck with the rest of your log.

Day 7:

Took full dose 30 minutes before breakfast.

Same good feeling about 20-30 minutes after taking Black Hole. Brought myself 2 granola bars to snack on. Unfortunately they were gone by 7:45am, only an hour and 15 minutes after my first meal Still very hungry throughout the day.
